Congrats, Tony. That's bad ***.

I'd def think about a new builder. John knows his stuff, but man, his trannies just aren't holding up. I'd try to find someone that has an 8-second 3200 lb car and see who built his trans...

You could always put a six speed back in it and go mess with Tanner, first 8 second nitrous LTx with a pro shifted six speed

Congrats on the runs! Get that thing to hook and you should see 8's with no problem!

Who does your trannys??? If you need someone I can give you a good reference...he did my TH350 and I have never had a problem with it! (KNOCK ON WOOD!)

Nice vids too! I need to make one with my setup....

Thanks Paul.

Neil....that idea has crossed my mind a few times but with my luck I would break those along with clutches all the time.
